Several telehealth companies sell compounded GLP-1 weight loss medications (such as semaglutide and tirzepatide) online, including:
- LIV by WellNow – Offers compounded semaglutide for $279/month; available only to residents of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York, and Pennsylvania [1].
- Lemonaid Health – Provides compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (e.g., $199–$299/month based on dose and plan); available in select U.S. states [4].
- ShedRx (OnlineSemaglutide.org) – Offers flat-rate compounded GLP-1s starting at $141/month; no membership fees and transparent pricing [5].
- MEDVi – Sells compounded GLP-1s starting at $179/month with no contracts or hidden fees; sources from licensed U.S. pharmacies [7].
- OrderlyMeds – Offers compounded GLP-1/GIP starting at $149/month (first month), connecting patients to providers in all 50 states [8].
- GoodRx for Weight Loss – Mentions online services that promote compounded GLP-1s, though it primarily offers FDA-approved brand-name options like Wegovy and Zepbound [2].
- GobyMeds and Noom – Also provide compounded semaglutide and/or tirzepatide through telehealth visits and home delivery [7].
⚠️ Important Note: Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, carry potential risks due to lack of quality guarantees, and should only be used when FDA-approved options (like Wegovy or Zepbound) are unavailable or inappropriate [2]. Always use a licensed telehealth provider that requires a prescription and partners with legitimate pharmacies.
For safer, FDA-approved alternatives, consider:
- WeightWatchers (offers Wegovy/Zepbound if you qualify) [3],
- Hims & Hers (partners with Novo Nordisk for brand-name Wegovy) [7],
- Walgreens Weight Management (offers FDA-approved GLP-1s) [6].
Recommend: Start with ShedRx or MEDVi if cost is your main concern and compounded options are necessary; otherwise, choose Hims & Hers or WeightWatchers for FDA-approved treatments.
